Marmot Dena Jacket (2012)

£130.00

Not only can you lighten your backpack with the Marmot Dena Jacket (at 325g, size women’s S,  it’s the second lightest jacket in our test) but you can also boost your green credentials as the synthetic insulation is made from 100 per cent recycled fabric. Despite its light weight it does keep you relatively warm, and it can pack down ...

Marmot Wave IV (2012)

£100.00

The Marmot Wave IV is a well-proven sleeping bag that manages to keep campers warm in winter for £100. To hit this price the bag has not been made to be as warm as others in our test, so it only has a temperature rating of -10 deg C. The benefit of shaving a little off the temperature rating is ...

Marmot Baffin Half-Zip (2012)

£110.00

This is a kind of hybrid style of jacket that offers more warmth than a fleece with a bit of extra waterproofing thrown in. As a pullover style it won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it isn’t the easiest to take off in a hurry. But the thinking is that you shouldn’t need to take it off so often because ...

Marmot Work Glove (2012)

£80.00

The Marmot Work Glove is a well-established piece of kit that has been used by Glenmore Lodge instructors when battling against Cairngorm storms. It’s also a pair of gloves that I’ve worn since 2009 and I’ve found them to be ideal for when the foul weather drives in. It is very much a professional workhorse design with a tough leather ...

Marmot Wave III 2011

£90.00

A really good product for the price, the Marmot Wave III is pretty much all you could want from a 3-season synthetic sleeping bag. It’s a reasonable weight and the cut manages a clever balance between spacious comfort and snug warmth. The outer shell is highly water-resistant yet soft, whereas inside you get a luxurious, velvety scrim in the head ...

Marmot Leadville

£120.00

This has ‘pub jacket’ written all over it, but the Leadville is much more than that. Tidy looks are backed up by Gore Windstopper fabric – used throughout most of the jacket to maintain core temperature whilst blocking out the breeze extremely effectively. Mesh-lined pockets help with venting on top of the underarm stretch panelling. Water repellence is among the ...

Marmot Precip 2010

£80.00

The Marmot Precip is a modern classic that offers most of what anyone would want from a multi-activity jacket, including a great price. It is made from an extremely waterproof fabric, while mesh pockets and pit zips improve condensation control, which is a feature worth having when biking or running in particular. The front zip gets a double stormflap on ...

Marmot Mica/Crystalline 2010

£100.00

A jacket that remains the same price in 2010 as it was in 2009, the Marmot Mica/Crystalline makes use of a 2.5-layer fabric called Membrain Strata, which offers superb levels of waterproofness and breathability but is incredibly lightweight. The result of using this material is a jacket that weighs around 200g, and yet it still has a hood, pockets and ...

Marmot Precip 2010

£50.00

It is the low weight and small packed size of the Marmot Precip that set it apart from most jackets, and this is ideal if the parents end up carrying it. The material is a good-quality fabric with a high level of waterproofness and breathability so it’s going to keep the wearer dry and comfortable for longer than most. There ...

Marmot Aegis 2010

£120.00

The Marmot Aegis general-purpose jacket weighs 422g (size L); MemBrain Strata is extremely waterproof and breathable; front zip gets double external stormflaps; hood rolls into collar; mesh pockets aid venting; huge chest pockets. But jackets with a mesh lining or 3-layer fabric with scrim will be less clammy; access to bottom of mesh pocket lining is easily obscured with rucksack ...

Marmot Mica

£100.00

The Mica sacrifices comfort and performance for a light weight and small pack-down size – even with a cavernous hood and Velcro adjustment on the cuffs. The nylon ripstop fabric kept rain out but wasn’t the most breathable, and is also fairly flimsy. It has a good DWR, though, and this prevented any major wetting out even in prolonged rain. ...

Marmot Precip 2010

£65.00

Lightweight trousers cut from a waterproof and breathable fabric that packs down well when not in use. Well-featured, including a selection of pockets and full-length zips that actually make it quite easy to access your normal trouser pockets. They definitely kept the rain out, even in some quite horrible weather, but they didn’t prove quite as breathable as some. They ...

Marmot Snazette

£140.00

If you’re only going to buy one soft shell, you won’t go far wrong with this. It’s a little on the heavy side, but it’s warm and snug with a fleece lining and soft outer fabric. It’s also got a lovely high collar to bury your face into in bad weather. Sizes are smaller than average and the body is ...

Marmot Mica/Crystalline 2009

£100.00

When weight really matters the material a jacket is made from plays a major role. For the Mica/Crystalline, Marmot has chosen a 2.5-layer fabric called Membrain Strata, which boasts excellent lab test results so it is rated as extremely waterproof and extremely breathable by Trail. The fabric allows this jacket to weigh in at just over 200g, and yet it ...

Marmot Nano 2009

£90.00

As the name suggests the Marmot Nano multi-activity jacket is very light at just 240g (size L), and it packs down very small too. In part this is down to the material, Gore-Tex Paclite, which is designed to be packable and lightweight. But equally this is a lighter version of that fabric than some jackets use. Also superfluous features are ...

The Marmot Aegis/Strato general-purpose jacket weighs 422g (men’s L); Marmot MemBrain Strata fabric offer extremely high levels of waterproofness and breathability; mesh pockets aid ventilation; hood rolls into collar; pit zips. But pockets extend to hem so access to base of pockets is obscured by rucksack belts; hood fit and movement are not ideal; 2.5-layer fabric may not control condensation ...

Marmot Wave III 2009

£75.00

The Wave III 3-season synthetic sleeping bag has a long, slim-fitting mummy shape, with a roomy, well-shaped foot box. The full-length two-way zip runs smoothly and mostly snag-free. The hood and substantial shoulder baffle are adjusted by an easily identifiable mix of tape and bungee cords. It has a large internal pocket for keeping useful kit handy. The inner fabric ...

Marmot Minimalist

£140.00

The Minimalist is heavier than some so won’t suit real weight watchers, but it has a flattering, contoured fit and comes in vibrant colours. Sadly, the collar isn’t as snug as rivals’ and has only a small amount of fleece to protect your chin. The fairly breathable Gore-Tex fabric will keep you dry and two pit-zips provide adequate venting. The ...

Marmot Scree 2009

£60.00

The price of these Scree trousers is great. Marmot’s best-selling soft shell pants are very stretchy, light (411g) and arguably serve as well on UK and Alpine walks, scrambles and climbs as the TNF and ME equivalents at £30-40 more. Having said this, Marmot uses its most breathable soft shell material –for high aerobic use in mild conditions – so ...

Marmot Work Glove 2009

£60.00

The Marmot Work Glove is used by the guides at Glenmore Lodge and it does feel just right for battling against a Cairngorm blizzard day in, day out. There’s a waterproof lining and plenty of insulation to keep you warm. The brushed lining is very comfortable too, while the leather palm should mean years of durability. The cuff is quite ...

Marmot Scree

£70.00

The stretchy soft shell fabric was soft against the skin and a delight to move in, but the legs were a little baggy and, although the waist was comfy, we’d have liked to have seen a belt. Not heavily insulated and, therefore, not the warmest in winter conditions, but performed better in milder weather. Weather resistance was okay.  VITAL STATSColour: ...

Marmot Gravity

£100.00

The fleece-backed fabric felt lovely and soft, however, it felt stiff and heavy on the hill and, despite having Velcro adjustment, the cuffs were difficult to pull up to cool down. A warm jacket and noticeably more breathable than most due to a wind-resistant rather than windproof fabric. Dealt well with a shower.
